    Gaming and IT

    Are laptops becoming ubiquitous enough that gaming companies can start relying on them being available during a game? For example, it might be feasible to segregate the gaming mechanics in the laptops so that players can focus on a more immersive experience.

    Harassment in gaming

    You've been arguing about moderation for a long time here. And you don't own this thread. Now, are you going to keep talking about _me_ or are you going to talk about harassment? Your actions are saying that you don't want to talk about harassment.

    Harassment in gaming

    Since the discussion was about her letter, discussing her letter, as I did, wasn't hi-jacking anything. I'm quite happy to change the topic from her letter to harassment in general. I said we can treat the letter as a dead thing in the past. But, here you are again, discussing me rather than...

    Are you gonna talk about me or focus on harassment?

    Harassment in gaming

    The writer of the original letter sabotaged any attempt at a civil discussion when she chose to use the bigoted language she did. I believe we could have a civil discussion on harassment if people stopped trying to defend her actions. What she did was wrong. It was inexcusable. It was...

    But, it is likely that they don't. Your argument "OMG, that guy got offended when I said he was guilty, that's _proof_ that he's guilty!" is not how things work in the real world. It is batshit crazy.

    Harassment in gaming

    As long as people are excusing away her use of inflammatory and bigoted accusations on her ability to write persuasively, such as MechaPilot did here Then, her use of such offensive flames IS on topic, regardless of whether _you_ like it or not. Why should i believe that someone is telling the...

    Or, she could learn to write persuasively _without_ using such cheap and bigoted rhetoric. I, for one, was turned off by her use of terms like "coward" and "white male terrorist." What I found persuasive were the incidents she mentioned. They raised my passion about this issue. They would...

    Harassment in gaming

    You mean, other than to emphasize the -whiteness- of the attackers and to state that most every other male in the hobby was a coward? Then to emphasize the alleged "omnipresence" of the harassment? Throw out the ignorant and unhelpful broad brush attacks. Build alliances. Don't teach, to use...

    Harassment in gaming

    Only a "responsible manner" is constructive. Tell me, if I were to be raped and, in response to my rape, I painted all black men as rapists, would that be responsible? would it be constructive? would it even matter to you or would you be too wrapped up in the delusion that correctly...

    Harassment in gaming

    I have had women tell me the opposite - that talking about male victims means that female victims are being ignored. I've never heard the claim that talking about female victims means that male victims are being ignored. Throughout this entire discussion, I've said that there is room for ALL...

    Harassment in gaming

    and..? Your point..? When a woman is unwilling to come forth to testify, it is because the judicial system is going to victimize them all over again, (the BS liberal metanarrative says). When men are unwilling to come forth to testify, its their fault they don't get justice (the same...

    Harassment in gaming

    She harmfully misidentifies the problem as "white male terrorism." Read the title of her paper. It doesn't say "Tabletop Gaming has a Sexual Harassment Problem." It says, "Tabletop Gaming has a White Male Terrorism Problem." Misidentifying the problem, then arguing that misidentifying the...

    Harassment in gaming

    What she's saying is in error and harmful. The fact that you think we should ignore that rather than address the actual problem (which is sexual harassment, not "white male terrorism") in a responsible manner disturbs me.

    Because I thought that everyone would agree that it was important and provide compelling documentation, not an isolated incident.
